i have to write a short two page paper for international politics. prompt: what factors explain the ability of north korea to continue to resist the demands of the united states, china, japan, and other powerful countries?

what trade is conducted between North Korea and any of the countries listed?

Guys...I desperately need help working my TI-83 calculator. I need to make a graph that has two variables on it...how would I go about doing that? +rep and such

2-independent variables?

Or just two variables? Because y=x is two variables (1 dependent and 1 independent). If this is what you are looking for there is a blue button with white lettering that says Y=. Hit that. Type in what you need then hit the blue graph button. (sorry if this is obviously wrong)

The TI-89 (I own one) was the first TI calculator to provide 3D (2 independent variables, 1 dependent ie z = f(x,y)) graphing. It's very very different from an TI83.

You might be able to use "Parametric" mode (don't know if it has one - honestly, I haven't used one in ~10 years), but your equations have to be parameterized.

Like descendency asked, 2 independent variables (x, y, z) or just 2 variables (x, y)? Makes a huge difference. Pretty sure you can't do it with 3 total variables on the TI-83, but I'm sure a few people could walk you through it with 2.

Definitely easier to get your foot in the door and get specific jobs with certain degrees, but yeah I generally agree with this.

Works VERY differently over here. If you don't have the degree that are prerequisites then you aren't even getting a call. You aren't working in any job that is really worth it without a degree. The only exception being teaching at universities, which whilst technically is teaching, actually only requires the degree you are teaching in...

But yeah, you aren't working as a geologist, engineer, accountant, in finance, medical, teaching, veterinary or anything of the likes without the degree in that subject. You don't need a degree if you want to work in fast food, labouring or driving a truck but if you want any of the really good paying jobs then you need a degree.

demonstrably untrue. otherwise, i'd be doing the same thing brent and cj are doing. beyond the fact that i went, not a single interviewer has ever cared what i actually did in college for my major, given what i could demonstrate ability doing.

And you also work in sales/tech support... Please find me some humanity majors that are working in desirable positions. Lets say analyst positions at investment banks, management consulting, and engineering firms. At my school most of these positions are only on the engineering or business job boards, which are restricted from everyone else.

If you are going to use my name in an argument, you have to capitalize it; that's only fare.

Besides, I am allowed to make a few extra mistakes this year as I am not teaching English, but Robotics.

How quickly it goes!

I'd be interested what jobs you applied for njx in which they threw out any prerequisite degrees, it just seems unreal to me that it could be that different in the USA to Australia that the degree just doesn't matter?

The only difference in the job markets is that Australia enjoys 10 page resumes, and America throws yours away if it is over a page.

Would love it cleared up whether they just throw it out and don't even call or if they just assume it will be good and call... either way, can't see say an accounting firm hiring someone with a humanities degree or even an engineering degree for that matter.

Now whether the degree should matter is another issue, I know I basically had forgotten everything I learned when I started and I honestly think that my degree requiring job could be done by a well trained monkey if one was so inclined but I know I don't get it without the degree for sure.
